having just watched the piece in your link (something I should have done at the outset), I see it ressembles nothing you say in the OP...just partisan hackery on your part...
One day I'm called a "commie" by a right-winger, the next I'm called a "partisan hack" by a left-winger. Back and forth, too funny. This board is a hoot, and it's consistent!
From the video you claim to have watched:
- "If you've been successful, you didn't get there on your own"
- "I'm always struck be people who say, 'well, it must have been because I'm so smart'"
- "'It must be because I worked harder than anybody else'"
- "If you've got a business, you didn't build that. SOMEBODY ELSE made that happen"
Now, I'm sure you agree with all that, but those are the quotes to which I was referring. As a person who has started and run multiple businesses, I was insulted. Not because I'd claim to have done 100% of everything in my businesses, but because he was so flippant and condescending about it, and because he was clearly playing to
people who have not the slightest clue what it takes to conceive, start, build, run and maintain a business. No idea of the risks, sacrifices, endless hours, constant frustrations.
And because he's
clearly among that group. I'm not asking for a "thanks" or a "well done", I don't give a crap there, but
perhaps a bit less ignorant mockery of my efforts by our President would be nice.
I'm sure you're not insulted at all. Hey, perhaps you've never been insulted in your life. After all, Obama has a (D) after his name, and all business owners are rich and evil, and they shouldn't have more money than you. Or, if you're a business owner, the (D) after his name is enough. I get it. But I just wanted to make things nice and clear for you.
Partisan hack? No mirrors in your house, I take it?
